Climbing Brokeback Mountain

Finally, I trudged up Brokeback Mountain and found I enjoyed the view.
The movie lives up to the hype. This is a film of small moments that build to emotional payoffs sprinkled throughout.
Ang Lee takes his time so you can invest in Ennis and Jack, watch as their relationship evolves over quiet mornings and cold nights in Brokeback Mountain, herding sheep.
And we see how one night of unexpected passion matures into a steel-like bond that endures their need to hide the truth of their love.
You see Ennis bowed down by pain the first time Jack leaves him, and you see his wife, played by Michelle Williams, whose bottled-up rage boils as she realizes that her husband's true love is not her.
The lush scenes of the two cowboys in Brokeback Mountain is laid out against the harsh confines of their lives with their wives and children.
And you see how their existence, where they can only steal a few weeks a year together, crushes them.
Brokeback Mountain, as critics have noted, is not self-righteous; it simply tells a story, one about two men who try to love each other in a world that does not accept them together.
This is a good movie, and to just call it a gay love story does no justice to it.
